Quote:This 'Holistic' method of treatment has gotten out of hand.
'Holistic' for me means "treating the whole", as such that includes vaccinations, general hygiene, clean water AND whole foods.
Huge bugbear of mine. I'm all for Holistic... In the right place. If but it's taken on a weird meaning. Now it often means
"I'm not trained in the particular type of boo boo you've come to me with but I AM trained in a particular type of woo which I'm convinced affects everything, so I'll do some stuff on that while I wait for your symptoms to get better via regression to the mean. That'll be £40 please"
Sometimes reductionism is a GOOD thing. But you talk about treating the symptoms these days people look at you funny! What if I WANT my symptoms treated?
The other thing about "Holistic medicine" is that it's bloody hard / impossible to test. Science works by reducing variables and generating a falsifiable hypotheses. Holism specifically seeks to include all variables! Convenient no?
Holistic medicine. My aching arse!
